The series of Safety Research courses started in early nineties as there were young people entering the field of safety research and working towards a PhD degree. The Safety Research course was planned for people who either aim to become researchers or who use research results in their work. The participants are a multidisciplinary group, for example, engineers, psychologists, social scientists, physiologists, medical doctors, etc.
